Six-month-old baby sets waterskiing record before she can even walk

We get it. Your baby is “very advanced” because she can hold a pencil and say milk. But there comes a point where getting your little prodigy to learn new tricks turns just a bit... weird.

Six-month-old Zyla’s parents decided that it would be a Good Idea for their baby girl to break the world record for youngest water skier. (Not coincidentally, her dad is world barefoot skiing champ Keith St Onge.)

Suited up in her pink life jacket and strapped into custom-made skis, Zyla cuts a bizarre figure in St Onge's video as she’s dragged behind a boat on a Florida lake.

Though Zyla grimaced during the stunt and sank into the water as she slowed down, her father insisted "she barely, barely got her head wet".

"[The record attempt] was planned and she was ready for it," said St Onge, CBS News reported — or at least as ready as a baby who can't even walk can be for a sport that actual adults find difficult.
